That's why Stroud/Young has to be traded next October when the team is 0-7, and averages 64 yards of total offense. Because you're not gonna win with them, so may as well deal them for more draft picks you can use on players you won't win with, so you can trade them for future draft picks to get players you won't win with, and so on and so forth.

Yes. It is a terrible cycle. And we only have our current brain trust to blame. No fan here or in the stadium is making these moves. And no I do not consider Tepper or Fitt fans cause I dont think even the dumbest person here would make the moves we have seen the past several years.

Team has a franchise LT, EDGE, Corner and a WR1.  Not to mention Chinn and Brown.  There are plenty of building blocks in place and thankfully at the most important positions.  Dont be silly this team is pretty appealing for a new coach coming in.  Especially when they get to pick their QB first overall.  Team is bad but for the first time in two years we actually have a light at the end of the tunnel.  A young QB developing with a good Oline and you always got a shot.

We moved an aging player at a very low value position for a bundle of picks to give our young QB more weapons.  I know its sad to see CMC leave but this team is in a better spot than Rhule got here if we land a top QB in the draft. 

Burns is nor a franchise edge. 

He is a slightly above average player and he's the one overvalued by you guys.

This trade is the NFL GM equivalent of making a bunch of bad financial decisions, so you have to take your best asset to the pawn shop and take what you can get.

People can do mental gymnastics about how a late 2nd and late 3rd is a "haul", but when you zoom out, this trade is really a capstone of a very poorly run team.

It is a haul for a 27 year old often injured running back.

I thought we’d be lucky to get a second. We got 3 other picks on top of that. It’s not mental gymnastics that fitterer imo should be fired for the capital he gave up for Darnold and baker. Especially Darnold. That is a fireable offense imo. But even if he didn’t do those things this was still a good move and a good trade.

No one can look at this trade, Fort Mill, Eastland, Rhule's contract or any number of moves and not think this team is owned by a guy trying desperately to relocate.

Unless, of course, your head is shoved so far up your ass that sunlight is as likely to reach it as the Panthers are to winning nine games in a season. Quite a few morons on here fit that bill quite well.

Why do you not want a 1100-yard WR? Do you live in St. Louis?

that's not the question though. 

DJ Moore will be going into his 6th season next year.  And we are about to entire a 100% offensive rebuild. 

Do you think DJ thinks he fits here at this point? Going through the slow grind of building something up?

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
